Yes, it’s true. You can have fun with Operations Manager. Right now I’m currently on the bench, and then probably unemployment soon since jobs are scarce, but it won’t be slowing me down ((If you need someone in the Twin Cities area, please shoot me an email – it’s my first name@my last name.net.)) In fact, I’ll be able to work on a lot of the wacky creative uses for OpsMgr – things like:
- Tracking your Dominoes pizza
- Recording and reporting on things other then performance data – like stock prices, the weather, etc
- Get emailed when your friend’s flight is about to land
- Interacting with the physical environment using the Arduino microcontroller (Think: Turning on a fan when the heat gets too high)
- And much much more!
So I’m rebuilding my current SP1 environment and turning it into an R2 RC one. Then I’ll start adding wacky monitors. And I’ll create a full management pack to do it, and you’ll learn step-by-step. It’ll be a fun time! So stay tuned, and you stay classy, San DIego!
I’d like to make a request.. Have SCOM read a tv schedule and program your tivo to record shows, and verify the data is recored.
While that would be cool, I don’t have a Tivo, so if you want to buy me one, I can try to figure it out
